Universal Studios is gearing up to take guests on a wild ride unlike anything ever seen before. From fast cars to furious thrills, this new theme park ride is set to zoom past the finish line. Credit: Inside the Magic Universal Studios New Roller Coaster: Fast, Furious and Family Thrills It starts with a roar—metal tearing through the wind, the scent of burning rubber, and the kind of raw velocity that shakes the pavement. This isn’t the start of a “Fast & Furious” film. It’s real. And it’s racing into Universal Studios Hollywood. Today, the park finally took the covers off one of its most anticipated projects yet: Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift—a state-of-the-art, outdoor roller coaster that will redefine speed in Universal’s ride lineup. But is it just about going fast? Or is Universal building something even bigger? Credit: Inside The Magic An Adrenaline Machine Built for Drift While most fans were thrilled by the headline speed—up to 72 mph, making it the fastest ride in Universal’s global theme park arsenal—what truly sets Hollywood Drift apart is its breakthrough in motion technology. First look at Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, coming soon to Universal Studios Hollywood. The coaster will debut as the fastest roller coaster in the Universal Destinations & Experiences portfolio at a staggering 72 MPH. – @PoppedNews on

More than a dozen theme park guests were on board an internal Walt Disney World Resort bus when a recent accident occurred. Disney cast members interviewed the guests, one of whom shared their experience in a video on social media. Buses are the most expansive transportation system at Walt Disney World Resort. They service every Disney Resort hotel, Disney Springs, Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park, and even the ESPN Wide World of Sports. Buses supplement more novel but limited forms of transportation like the Monorail, Disney Skyliner, and watercraft.

According to the guest, a car side-swiped the Disney bus, forcing it to stop with more than a dozen guests on board. Disney cast members reportedly interviewed every guest on board about what they felt and saw before the bus could move again. “A car side-swiped our bus at Disney so they’re having to take names for interviews on what we may have seen,” the Disney Park guest wrote alongside a video of Disney cast members walking through the bus. “(I saw and felt nothing).” @trey_2_extra #waltdisneyworld #busaccident ♬ original sound – EpicGamingMusic Everyone on the Walt Disney World Resort bus appeared physically unharmed after the accident, though potentially frustrated by

It’s been a whirlwind few days for longtime ABC News reporter Terry Moran. Moran made headlines in late April when he interviewed the president, and Trump got angry when Mr. Moran called him out for using a doctored photo to “prove” that a wrongly deported man was a member of a notorious gang. The interview also made waves when Moran had a visceral reaction to Mr. Trump saying that the Declaration of Independence was about “unity and love and respect.” Credit: Video Screenshot, ABC News Special Report Related: After $16 Million Settlement, ‘Good Morning America’ Anchor Calls Donald Trump Corrupt Unfortunately, those were minor headlines compared to the ones Mr. Moran would make on June 8, when he posted a long message on X (formerly Twitter) talking about Trump and his Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. In the since-deleted tweet, he called both men “world-class haters” and that Mr. Miller’s spiritual nourishment is his hate, while Donald Trump’s “spiritual nourishment” was “his own glorification.” The tweet was removed not long after it was posted, but the damage was done. Mr. Moran was quickly suspended from ABC News, which quickly denounced his tweet. ABC said it “stands for objectivity and impartiality” and that Mr. Moran’s tweet violated that.

A classic Magic Kingdom attraction is now roped off from guests. Credit: Inside the Magic Related: Disney Braces for Impact as Live-Action’ Snow White’ Dealt Grim Final Update When visiting Magic Kingdom, guests have many decisions to make, including, but not limited to, choosing where to eat, what to ride, and where to explore. The park is split into several distinctly themed lands, making exploration a top priority for both first-time and veteran guests alike. While Tomorrowland may have the best selection of thrill rides, other areas like Adventureland and Main Street U.S.A. are still worth a trip. Fantasyland remains the park’s most crowded and popular land thanks to its selection of rides and experiences. Fantasyland is home to several classic attractions, including the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan’s Flight, and “it’s a small world.” Guests can also enjoy a few unorthodox attractions, such as Mickey’s Philharmagic, a 3D screen-based show, and Prince Charming Regal Carousel. However, none of the attractions at Disney World hold a candle (sword?) to Fantasyland’s ever-tempting sword-in-the-stone experience. Placed right in the central hub of Fantasyland, the sword in the stone has been the bane of many guests’ lives, teasing and taunting them as they explore Magic Kingdom. The game is simple: approach the sword, grab the sword, pull the sword out of the stone. This is easier said than done, as only those who are worthy can pick up the sword. It’s especially difficult to do so now, with the
